HP Pavilion a350n
NothingNew posted a good list of PSUs but with your comp it may have issues fitting some power supplies, I haven't messed with an HP Pavilion specifically so maybe it's got plenty of room but you may want to measure the dimensions to make sure whatever you buy will fit.*

*Many pre-assembled computers from HP, Dell, etc. use specially made parts that can make self-upgrading difficult due to the size restrictions of the case/internal case structure.

I can't stand when people try to stay alive as a boomer. Throw up once and then suicide run at the group.
Exploding on the survivors when they are already vomited on (and purple/pink) doesn't reset the timer so if you can stay alive to either get in a second vomit or an explode that actually gets them covered again it's pretty much the better option most of the time.

Do you also dislike it when hunter's jump away after being knocked off somebody but not killed?

JEEVES420 posted:

I guess I should rephrase that and say I hate it when a boomer does not get everyone and tries to hide to recharge and the survivors are able to run ahead leaving the boomer to try and catch up. It is much better to try and suicide the ones you miss and quicker to respawn and get a better position.

Majority of the versus games I have played the survivors really haul rear end and don't give you time to recharge.
I agree with your rephrasing.

Oh boy, I get to click and drag hordes of units in a whole new graphical setting. Most RTS's are the most boring poo poo in the world and the ones that do involve 'strategy' tend to less 'thinking and maneuvering' and more 'OK, first I must build Y, then X, then... '

Men of War was the only RTS I've ever played that didn't dissolve into 'Hold left click, drag, right click'. Maybe Star Craft 2 will do something different that'll reinvent the genre or something but I doubt it.

So I'm finally getting around to playing Mass Effect 2, about 7 hours in so far, imported my ME1 char. It seems like there is less loot hunting for armor/weapons and just a upgrade system. Mining seems pretty easy if a bit of a time waster (someone needs to make it a phone app so I can do that part at work). Any non-spoiler advice on things to upgrade/get/do?

As for Origin, I want all of my digital game distro and friends to be on one service so I will be buying any EA games I can't get on Steam via Amazon to avoid supporting a service that wants to compete with Steam.

By IFF I assume it's some sort of id friend or foe mission?

All ship upgrades minus scar, got it. I am playing as an infiltrator I think? Whichever starts you with sniper + stealth.

Shadow Broker DLC will be purchased at your recommendation.

Yeah Gtab I already have a login for BC2, that seems to be unavoidable. The most I can do is give Amazon a cut instead of EA on the distro end :-(

I haven't played BF3 a lot, obviously, but I just have the feeling right now that I like prone in games only when there's no respawn during a round. I guess I'll get used to it but I haven't played a game (heavily) since Ghost Recon that had prone so it's a little jarring and I have to keep reminding myself to slow my roll.

Oh and battlelog is a huge shitfest for me. The drat party tab won't show up 50% of the time that I'm in a party. I had to logout and back in just to magically have the option to change my PTT key appear. Why are my origin and battlelog friends lists seperate? Yeah you can import but they should be auto synced gently caress! Trying to join games as a party is also hosed up. I won't get into game bugs because supposedly they are fixed internally but this server browser poo poo is currently really bad.

Edit: also I want to see Steam hack a workaround up so I can just use Steam. I miss it :-(

If you want to learn how to deal with snipers and movement in BF go play shitloads of BC2 on hardcore, where snipers get one-shot-kill bodyshots and there's no 3d spotting, health regen, or hipfire retical.

It's super rough at first but once it forces you into some good habits you'll never want to go back.
BF3 does have health regen though correct? I will keep this in mind, I presume open beta will close and X weeks/days will exist between that and the game going retail, perfect BC2 hardcore mode time.

Honestly, I don't mind battlelog. I pretty much always have the browser open for poo poo. If I want to play BF3, I go to the tab, click on a bro, and join them. Of all the things to complain about. Battlelog is low on my list.

Battlelog is rage-inducingly bad. The group that I play with often has to try five or more times to get the drat thing to actually join a server because the browser doesn't update for poo poo. And then when we get in we're almost never all in the same squad. In fact getting even 2 people in the same squad seems to take an act of god. I don't know what kind of black magic some of you are using to get the drat thing to work, but I want some of it.
If it makes you feel better I, too, get hosed over by battlelog on a regular basis.
